So, I went to a temporary clearing site. Basically, they will email your resume to all the temp agencies in the area. They charged me $25 to send my resume to 140 sites. I then received 40 bounce mails telling me the address was wrong or that I'd spammed them. I followed up with an email asking if they'd pro-rate back my payment

Cheer up hon. We still love you even if the world isn't exactly cooperating at the moment. Even made a special icon, just for you. =)

after we graduated and the economy crashed, i got a job because my church loved me, but john's part-time jobs dried up one by one. i got so pissed off watching him lay on the couch and read sci-fi novels while i worked pretty much full-time that i threw a fit and told him to get a job, any job, i didn't care. so he got a job making pizza. it didn't pay much, but we got a lot of gourmet pizza out of it and cut down on our food bills. in fact, i think john probably earned more in pizza than he did in actual cash
